GREGORY'S DELICIOUS. This 
fine new winter squash, now offered 
by us to the Western Planters is of the 
finest quality possible. The Eastern 
people have had it for the past few years, and the 
popularity of this splendid variety increases 
steadily. In size it closely resembled the original 
Hubbard. In color it is almost uniform with 
occasionally a blue specimen. The thickness of 
its flesh surpasses nearly every other variety; 
the color being a dark orange. For table use 
it cannot be excelled; these Squashes represent 
a remarkable combination of fineness and com- 
pactness of grain, dryness, sweetness and ex- 
ceeding richness of flavor.

color and of fully as good quality.
